The Evolution of Me

Last night, I went back to the gym. It wasnt a very successful trip tho. I just wasnt in the mood. I only did half of what I was supposed to...

20 min Elliptical on Hill level 10
3 set of 10 on the sit up bench
3 sets of 10 on hyperextension
2 sets of 10 and 1 set of 5 on Roman Chair
2 sets of 10 on Chest Press

I skipped the fly, row, biceps and triceps... SMH...
definitely a failed attempt.

Mentally I wanted to workout, physically my body was moving but I wasnt motivated. Plus ever since I dislocated my shoulder in 2006 and 2008, doing things with my upper body doesnt feel confortable. Some days I cant sit back in my seat because my shoulder blades sticks out.

Today I feel uber sluggish. Not sure why. But thanks to all that ab work, I feel like my stomach is skrinking. If nothing else, my mid section will be on point.

So Ive been on my new get fit / lose these thunder thighs so I can fit into my clothes nicely...
I joined the gym and have been going atleast twice a week for the past month or so. I havent really seen any results so I enlisted the assistance of a personal trainer.

He and I (and this other lady who wanted training) sat down to discuss things like current routines, goals, etc. When its the lady's turn to share she says... "I want to lose weight! But I dont wanna be boney. I still wanna keep my curves... I cant stand skinny girls" and then kind of gives me a side eye....

I am not even boney. I calculated my BMI. I am in the normal range. Even before I gained these 10 lbs, I was in the normal range. So she just must be upset that I could take her man.

The next day, I return to the gym. I follow the workout routine that the trainer gave me. I couldnt help but notice six eyes that were constantly glued to me. Another group of cake chasers, giving me the stank eye.

I mean DAMN... tell em why you mad!

Can I get fit and tone without a bunch of hating??? I am hurting anybody. Its supposed to be a judgement free zone. That means that I dont judge hefty ppl AND they dont get to judge me.



Anyway.. Here is a workout summary for Day 1:

Elliptical : 45min on Hill Level 10 and 5 min cool down
Leg Press: one set of 25 reps (45lbs)
Leg Curl: one set of 25 reps (45lbs)
Calf Extentions: one set of 25 reps (35 lbs)
Lower Back Extentions: two sets of 15 reps (30 lbs)
Abdominals: one set of 15 reps (30 lbs)
Ab Curnch: one set of 15 reps (30 lbs)
Torso Twist: one set of 15 reps per side (50lbs)
Glutes: one set of 15 reps per leg (50 lbs)
Arc Trainer: 5 min level 15

All in all, it was a successful evening at the gym. I hope to build up my reps and weights. and I cant wait to see the results.. Next.. Im doing upper body.

Get it Right and Keep it Tight

I am soo tired of the IT guy at my job making remarks abt my hair.

I love my natural hair. While I may not be able to style it in cutesy styles and it has its off days, its MY hair. The hair GOD has given me. The hair that has grown out of me.

Sorry that I dont pur chemicals in my hair so u can feel better abt the way I look.

One of the most difficult things about life in general, is being comfortable in your skin and confident with yourself. Even on days when I dont feel the cutest, I am comfortable being me.

And if you dont like how I look, dress, talk, where my hair.. then stay away from me. Dont come into my cube talking smack....

I dont even know why he is talking... He just stapled the bottom of his pants together -_- If we discussing something thats not cute.. lets discuss THAT!
